Link or share an email in your Posteo.at (Posteo) email account

Have an email conversation you want to share with your team, embed in a wiki or post on Slack?
Follow these steps to create shareable links from email conversations in your Posteo.at (Posteo) inbox
that can be shared anywhere you can paste a link.

Share emails in your Posteo.at mailbox

Posteo.at (Posteo) doesn't allow you to link or share messages via their webmail interface,
but they support IMAP, which means you can use other email programs like Mailspring
to check your mail and create shareable links from email threads.

Follow these steps to get a shareable link for an email thread in your Posteo.at account:

Step 1: Download Mailspring

Mailspring is a free desktop application for checking your email that makes it easy to share emails.
It also comes with other great features like customizable themes, keyboard shortcuts, and read
receipts! It works great on Mac, Linux, and Windows.

Step 2: Sign in to your Posteo.at account

Run Mailspring and choose IMAP / SMTP on the email setup screen. Enter the
connection settings
for your Posteo.at account and click "Continue". Mailspring is a full
email client and allows you to check your Posteo.at (Posteo) email without using the
webmail interface. Your email should be displayed in a few minutes.

Step 3: Create a shared link from a conversation

When viewing a message in Mailspring, click the
Share Icon to open the sharing panel
and click the "Share this thread" checkbox.
Copy the link that appears and share it!

Anyone with the link can view the conversation and download
attachments. If new emails arrive in the conversation, Mailspring will add them to the shared link.
You can stop sharing a conversation at any time by unchecking the "Share this thread" checkbox.
